Install Rhythmbox 3.2 In Ubuntu Or Linux Mint Via PPA

Rhythmbox 3.2 was released yesterday, bringing new features like a Soudcloud plugin, along with bug fixes. If you're using Ubuntu 15.04, 14.10 or 14.04 / Linux Mint 17.1 or 17 (and derivatives), you can already install the latest Rhythmbox via PPA.

Changes in Rhythmbox 3.2 since 3.1:

added a Soundcloud plugin;

added the ability to clear, re-fetch and manually set cover art using the song info window;

Here are a couple of screenshots with the new Soundcloud plugin and the new cover art options from the song info window:
